Deals like this do exist out there.In a previous post, I put a graphic of my returns, and you accused me of using data for single family returns.

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

I have a list of them that I can share with you.Chicago, without a doubt, has some downsides, but there are also a lot of positives, like the inventory of older multi-family properties and price points at all levels.Investing out-state can be challenging because of the distance and the need for boots on the ground that you can trust 100%.

Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment.

So I bought a single family home for 315k that was considered inhabitable.

* Is this a single-family property or a duplex?

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I’ve seen countless stories of families choosing between groceries and rent, or parents juggling eviction notices while trying to shield their children from the stress.

not everyone's family situation or commute or lifestyle permits it, but it's a great way to get started.it's also just objectively tougher to find good deals now than it used to be. 

That might be one suggestion to get your feet wet - invest with a family member who has more experience.
